Having worked with Jeff in-depth, I can attest that his business and branding instincts are fantastic and well-honed. I know about Jeff long before I knew him personally - his company New Leaf Paper is one of the first mission-driven businesses in the social enterprise space. He has been deeply involved in the ethical and sustainable business movement, and advises numerous entrepreneurs on their social ventures. Jeff is a natural at getting to the heart of a business problem and finding creative, often serendipitous solutions. It's a pleasure to work with him.
